Trivialised. Ignored. Misinterpreted.

For ages, the concepts of anxiety and depression have been seen in a light that is far from ideal.

Echoing the same is UK resident Amber Smith.

In a recent Facebook post, Smith wrote on how she, after years of being a victim of severe anxiety and depression, continues to fight the stigmas and misconceptions around mental health.

Sharing a before-and-after picture collage of her anxiety attack, Smith wrote, "God knows why I'm doing this, but people need some home truths."

"I've been battling with anxiety and depression for years and years and there's still people that make comments like 'you'll get over it', 'you don't need tablets, just be happier', 'you're too young to suffer with that'," Smith says.

"F*CK YOU. F*ck all of you small minded people that think that because I physically look 'fine' that I'm not battling a monster inside my head every single day," a visibly hurt Smith continues.

She further goes on to say that even though she's had "fair share of cr*p in life" much like everybody else--she knows she will ultimately be all right.

But for that she, and people like her, require love, support and patience.

So, if you do know about someone around you who suffers from anxiety and depression, please be kind to them and help them sail through what isn't exactly a very nice place to be. It might just mean the world to them.
